Editing Memory address (section)

==Addressing schemes==
{{main|Addressing mode}}
A computer program can access an address given explicitly – in low-level programming this is usually called an '''{{visible anchor|absolute address}}''', or sometimes a specific address, and is known as [[pointer (computer programming)|pointer]] data type in higher-level languages. But a program can also use [[relative address]] which specifies a location in relation to somewhere else (the ''[[base address]]''). There are many more indirect [[addressing mode]]s.

Mapping logical addresses to physical and virtual memory also adds several levels of indirection; see below.
